CHAPTER 34
David blesses the Lord at all times—He counsels: Keep thy tongues
from evil; do good and seek peace—Speaking Messianically he says: He
keepeth all his bones; not one of them is broken.

A Psalm of David, when he changed his behavior before Abimelech;
who drove him away, and he departed.
|
1 I WILL
abless the LORD at all times: his praise shall
continually be in my mouth.
2 My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.
3 O amagnify the LORD with
me, and let us exalt his name together.

4 I asought the LORD, and he
bheard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
5 They looked unto him, and were
alightened: and their faces were not ashamed.
6 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.

7 The aangel of the LORD
encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.
8 O ataste and see that the
LORD is bgood: blessed is the man that
trusteth in him.
9 O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.

10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger:
but they that seek the LORD shall not awant any good
thing.
11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
12 What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good?
|

13 Keep thy atongue from
evil, and thy lips from speaking bguile.
14 Depart from evil, and do
agood; seek bpeace, and pursue it.
15 The aeyes of the LORD
are upon the brighteous, and his ears are
open unto their cry.

16 The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
17 The righteous cry, and the LORD
heareth, and adelivereth them out of all their troubles.
18 The LORD is nigh unto them that are
of a broken heart; and asaveth such as be
bof a contrite spirit.

19 Many are the
aafflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him
out of them all.
20 He keepeth all his bones: not one of
them is abrokena.

20a not one of them is broken
The lamb which the Israelites were commanded to eat with peculiar rites as a
part of the Passover celebration when Israel was delivered from the
destroying angel of death in Egypt the night before the exodus was granted
is that lamb which represents the delivering effect of the atonement of Jesus
Christ. And in his death, that he would die before the Sabath came, Christ was
already dead and need not have his legs broken. Thus is a Messianic prophecy
of the coming Messiah so sang in the psalm of David. This particular lamb is
called the Paschal Lamb.

|
21 Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.
22 The LORD redeemeth the soul of his
servants: and none of them that atrust in him shall be
desolate.
